KVM: VMX: Give host userspace full control of MSR_IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES

Do not clear manipulate MSR_IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES in intel_pmu_refresh(),
i.e. give userspace full control over capability/read-only MSRs.  KVM is
not a babysitter, it is userspace's responsiblity to provide a valid and
coherent vCPU model.

Attempting to "help" the guest by forcing a consistent model creates edge
cases, and ironicially leads to inconsistent behavior.

Example #1:  KVM doesn't do intel_pmu_refresh() when userspace writes
the MSR.

Example #2: KVM doesn't clear the bits when the PMU is disabled, or when
there's no architectural PMU.
